INQUA Commissions

INQUA's basic goal - promoting improved communication and international collaboration in basic and applied aspects of Quaternary research - is achieved mainly through the activities of its commissions and committees. INQUA has five Commissions. For more information contact the INQUA Commission Presidents directly or the INQUA Secretary General.

Coastal & Marine Processes

CMP

International Focus Group - past changes in sea level & Earth’s cryosphere to constrain future sea-level rise in response to climate change.

Humans & Biosphere

HABCOM

The Humans and Biosphere Commission fosters problem-oriented study of the effects that changes in Quaternary climates and palaeoenvironments have had on organisms (individuals, communities, species), as well as the relationships between humans and their environment.

Palaeoclimates

PALCOM

The remit for this Commission is to optimise the use of palaeo-data for detailed climatic reconstructions. The overall objective is to enhance understanding of Quaternary climatic perturbations, transitions and abrupt events.

Stratigraphy & Chronology

SACCOM

Devoted to the study of the Quaternary Period through Quaternary stratigraphy and chronology. It provides a forum for Quaternary scientists to discuss and establish stratigraphical investigations and classification throughout the World.

Terrestrial Processes, Deposits & History

TERPRO

Promotes and supports research on Quaternary topics related to terrestrial environments and history, especially in areas that investigate new frontiers in science and incorporate multiple and cross-disciplinary research efforts, multi-national research and involve developing countries.
